THE recommendations made by
the Coroner's jury in the case of the
recent bo''er explosion, to have the
legislature pass a law compelling
all owners of engine 3 to have them
examined and tested by II compe-
tent person appointed for such
purpose is very wise and timely.
Although such a sensible thing
will not prevent boilers from ex-
ploding, yet there WI be more CON
iidence given, and at the same time
relieve the ems neer in charge of
bearing a" responsibility. The life
of the boiler exploded was but half
spent and yet mach MIST says the
IRON was not capable Of carrying
minimum amount Of steam.
There seems something strange
about these remarks.

The prince of merchants, Mr. John
Wanamaker, has passed his 5Oth
year, and the occasion was made
memorable not only by the vast
army of men and women he gives
employment to, but by hundreds of
others who knew that he was Justly
entitled to such recognition. His
name has made for Philadelphia a
city second to no other in the East.
His motto ever was to go ahead;
never to be content with doing so
much and no more. No one can
but admire the ceaseless, tireless
energy on the part of this man, and
certainly no city should feel greater
pride than Philadelphia in having
such a spirit. No one has done
mole to build the city up.

WITH ALL CARE exercised in the
running of engines explosions occur
at various times. The cause of these
explosions are generally traced to
the fact that the iron contains hidden
flaws. These flaws cannot be guard
ed against by the most skilled
mechanic in the manufacture of the
iron that goes into the boiler. The
iron is put to severe tests, and shows
no weakness then, and not perhaps
for very many years wards.
Then, without the slightest warning,
the iron is torn and twisted into
various shapes, even under small
head of steam, as was the case with
the boiler that exploded on farm
yard near this town, this week.
Such occurrences will continue to
take place until science demonstrates
the possibility of making boiler iron
without flaws. Naturally, persons.
not well informed as to the nature
of boilers, their construction, etc,
will hint at the idea of negligence
on the part of the engineer, while
others use expressions SO ludicious
as 10 cause one to smile. GLOW did
she look before she exploded" is
fair sample of nonsensical questions
asked on that occasion. The engi-
neer did not notice the boiler to
swell out, as the questioner seemed
to think. 1t is useless to blame, il
is folly to express an opinion. Non
explosive boilers have not beer
thrown ON the market, and until
they are, fatalities will occur with
more or less disastrous effect.

The Origin of Our Continent.

1t is believed by some scientific
mcn that North America begun It's
formation with ISLANDS of matter
rising out Of the ocean, which grew
until they touched each other.
Many of these islands were volca-
noes that threw upmatter that had
formed below the surface of the
water, aud were larger below the
water than above it. The Haw-
allan Islands have had many vol
canoes, and were much formed by
them: The whole area above the
sea is no more than that OF the
State of Massachusetts, but their
combined basis must be equal to
the " hole of New England and New
York. Thus the original islands Of
this continent could easily have
been made to enlarge and join each
other, and the granite rock so
abundant was once erupted from
volcanoes, like flowing lava. Among
he first volcanic islands must have
been Greenland, Canada, east of
Winnipeg, the Atlantic district,
the Rocky Mountains and the Sc
IRA Nevadas; but as tile islands
rose aud enlarged great depres-
sions would naturally commence
and go on, and in this way the de.
pressionS OF Hudson'S bay, the Mis-
sissippi valley and the Salt Lake
and Nevada basins were burned
These depressions would eventual
ly become rocks, and the depreS
Sions would have Il saucer or plat
ter shape.
